BBC complains to UN about Iran targeting its Persian service
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe BBC says it filed a complaint to the United Nations over Iran freezing the assets of more than 150 people associated with its Persian service, calling the Islamic Republic’s actions “a deprivation of human rights.”
The British broadcaster described Iran’s actions as part of a “criminal investigation” into its staff, former employees and contributors over allegations of them fomenting a “conspiracy against national security” in Iran and abroad.
Iran’s mission at the UN did not respond to a request for comment. Iranian state media did not immediately report on the complaint.
